Uglydolls
History
It all started when every letter that David Horvath sent to Sun-Min Kim (they were dating) had a little cartoon of his character Wage at the bottom of the letter saying “I miss You and love you” next to it. As a surprise gift Sun-Min sewed a doll of Wage, and sent it to David in the mail. David showed Wage to an agent and wrote to Sun Min asking her to sew more, and Uglydolls started.
